Located near the town of Page, Arizona, Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons form two of the most iconic slot canyons in the American Southwest. These narrow, winding sandstone corridors have been carved over millennia by flash floods, creating sculpted walls that glow with shifting hues of reds and oranges when sunlight filters through narrow openings above. Dineh Tours offers an immersive combo tour that covers both canyons, guided by Navajo experts passionate about sharing the region’s natural artistry and cultural significance. Visitors start with Lower Antelope Canyon, which requires some light scrambling and stair climbing, revealing tight corridors with dramatic, wave-like wall textures.
